See my other journal entry for info this was to add in the strength which i forgot.
Sleepy, hungry...that's about it.
Brief history of myself and marijuana before I begin with the review.
I started smoking cannabis Junior year in High School. We probably smoked every other day. This was with close friends. We smoked A LOT! Usually blunt size cigars filled with cannabis. We usually had a good time. Laughed, got hungry, socialized etc.
However, soon after high school was over, the high started effecting me differently. Unfortunately, in a bad way. I started getting anxiety, paranoia, sad thoughts about life changing, loosing friends etc. It didn't happen every time I smoked but started happening more regularly. Same with some of my closest friends. They started not enjoying the high. Would make them uneasy with themselves. Insecure, anti-social etc.
Long story short, I quit smoking weed because of this. Years went by. I would occasionally smoke when the opportunity prevented itself to give it another shot but it would always bring me back to the bad high.
I didn't understand what had happened. Was it the weed? Was it me? Was it just life? What was going on. I was almost certain it was the weed because a lot of my friends also gave up the habit because it gave the same effect on them.
I didn't want to give up. About the time I turned 25 I looked into getting a weed card. Because I have a history of right knee-pain, it was quite easy to get. After getting the card I hit up a couple dispensaries. Never before had I seen such a selection right before me. I was excited because I thought this will definitely help me track down the right stuff if anything would.
Well, unfortunately, the high on all the stuff I tried was again, the same. Gave me a super head high with unstoppable negative thoughts. You see, I kinda think too much as it is, so when I smoke weed that is highly psychoactive, it really puts me in hyper mode of thinking, which overwhelms me, them brings me to anxiety. I needed a weed that brought me down. I tested and smoked indica's, sativa's, hybrids. All with pretty much the same results.
I still like to go out and socialize at parties, bars etc. But I kinda want to get away from alcohol. It's really not good for you and always give me a hangover the next day. BLAHHHH
I'm 28 years old now. I started doing some research about marijuana and stumbled upon CBD's. Never heard of it before. I only knew of the main ingredient THC. I read that almost all the breeders that grow marijuana today, grow it for maximum THC. The problem is by doing this it almost eliminates all the CBD content. CBD's, I read, are responsible for cancelling out the negative effects of THC...like anxiety, paranoia etc. It's sort of a Yin Yang relationship. You kinda want a 50/50 match of both in your strains.
I read Harlequin was a good strain but very rare to find.
Even with my cannabis permit, I had to search many dispensaries up here in Seattle, until I found one that had it. I shot up there and bought a couple grams.
I rolled a couple small-medium size joints out of it. The joints were sitting in my house for a good couple weeks. I couldn't really develop enough courage to smoke them because I was afraid it would bring me right back to the unwanted feelings.
Well last night I met up with a close friend that I've known through the years since high school. He was actually one of my old pot smoking friends.
We went out to a bar in Des Moines, WA. After a couple drinks (beers) I asked if he wanted to try a rare strain that is suppose to not produce anxiety. He was a little reluctant but I talked him into it. We went out to my car and lit up the joint I had prepared. We smoked the whole thing. Probably got 5 good hits each.
Walking back into the bar I could feel a little bit of the unwanted feelings coming in, but it was different. It was easier for me to dismiss them. We went back to our seats at the bar top and started sipping the rest of our beer. Over the course of the next hour I must say we had quite the good time. We had some good laughs. Me, at times, came to tears with laughter. I'm pretty sure everyone at the bar top knew we were high. Actually, I know the bartenders did, because she said "you guys smell good" and gave us a little grin.
I can't say I really cared though. Like I said, I could feel a slight feeling of the bad side, but it was easy to push back. It must of been the high CBD content. I can't say I was overly open to strangers but I did engage with the bartenders and the few people I did talk to, I jived with.
At a couple times, I said a joke, and I guess I was either the only one that got it, or the only one that thought it was funny. I laughed...and I laughed HARD at my own joke. But other people didn't. But again, I didn't care. I was sorta in my own world and didn't get effected by outside input.
I am excited to try Harlequin again. Next time, I'm going to smoke maybe just 3 good hits without the alcohol before hand and see where it puts my head.
But for the time being, I like the results we got from Harlequin :-)
